Haha. :h:

Yeah, I'm not big on levitating heads.

It's ok; earlier I thought "the money is good" (my friend, who is working) said "the monkey is good". It took me a while to realise, and I actually had to think if a monkey had been mentioned in our previous conversations.


Hahaha! :laugh:

It's funny what a slight lapse of concentration can cause :mmm:

Mmmm, cookie dough.

I'm not bad thank you. Half working, half watching V for Vendetta. We just finished watch The A-Team; I love being a student!
1. What's your name? Owen
2. Is there anything in particular you've come to the TSRLGBTS for? To chat to other LGBT-ers as I don't really have any LGBT friends in my hometown.
3. How old are you? 21
4. What's your gender? Male
5. What's your sexual orientation? Gay :smile: Though I've considered asking a girl out before, I don't think it would work long term.
6. How long have you known your orientation? About 12/13 I reckon, though I didn't know the term 'gay' from before that so maybe I considered myself as such before but had no label for it.
7. Do you feel like you fit any orientation-related stereotypes? I've recently sold out and bought a twinky tank top, I tend to get camper the more you know me but on first impressions people usually just think I'm eccentric rather than gay :rolleyes:
8. Have you experienced any homo- or transphobia? Someone once genuinely attempted to kill me for being gay. No lie :s-smilie:
9. Are you out? For how long, or are you planning to? If you are, how did people react? Yes, I've been out for approximately 4 years now. Everyone took it fine, a few friends said it took them a while to adjust because they'd never thought of me like that before but that's about it. My parents weren't fussed because they don't tend to pry into either me or my sister's private lives.
10. Do you know many LGBT people? Since leaving uni, no.
11. Have you been involved in any LGBT organisations or societies? What did you think of them? I was the LGBT Society President at Kent Uni. My thoughts on LGBT societies can be found here.
12. Have you been to any LGBT events? How were they? I've been to one LGBT bar and one LGBT club, they were alright I guess. I went to a pride thing in my town once, it was pretty bad.
13. Do LGBT considerations influence you politically? I'm a diehard Liberal Democrat even through all the mess they're in. LGBT legislation isn't generally big on the agenda these days as most inequalities are being sorted out so I guess I wouldn't be as affected by anything related to that, no.
14. Are you in a relationship? If so, for how long? Yes, just started a new relationship, only been going for just under 2 months now.
15. What do you look for in a partner? It's hard to pin down individual criteria with me that I tend to find attractive. Physically I'm easily pleased and believe that I can come to enjoy a range of different body types etc. on their own individual merits. I've got a bit of a thing for gingers but it's definitely not a deal breaker by any stretch. Personality wise as long as we can talk and get on, maybe have some things in common then it's all good. I'm a true romantic :redface:
16. Have you had any sexual experiences with the same gender? Good or bad? Yep, mostly good.
17. Have you had any sexual experiences with another gender? Good or bad? No.
18. Do you go out on the 'scene' (LGB clubs and bars) much? Can you recommend anywhere? I don't really go out on the scene much.
19. Name some fit famous people. I don't believe in dealing in unattainable fantasies.
20. Show us your picture? There're already enough in the main chat thread I believe.
1. What's your name? James
2. Is there anything in particular you've come to the TSRLGBTS for? Not especially - well, apart from getting to know the cool people of the TSRLGBTS, of course. My life would be empty without you. :tongue:
3. How old are you? 17
4. What's your gender? Male
5. What's your sexual orientation? Gay
6. How long have you known your orientation? 4 years or so? I really don't know!
7. Do you feel like you fit any orientation-related stereotypes? Not especially! I like musicals, I suppose. :awesome:
8. Have you experienced any homo- or transphobia? I'm barely out, so I've never been the target of it. I've experienced some indirect stuff, but nothing more than that.
9. Are you out? For how long, or are you planning to? If you are, how did people react? I'm out to a grand total of... 1 person. My best friend tricked me into telling her, and was lovely about it. I'm putting off coming out any further 'til uni.
10. Do you know many LGBT people? I know a couple of hilarious lesbinums (lovely people), but other than that: nada.
11. Have you been involved in any LGBT organisations or societies? What did you think of them? Nope
12. Have you been to any LGBT events? How were they? I refer you to answer 11. :tongue:
13. Do LGBT considerations influence you politically? Not really - of course, I expect LGBT friendliness. If a group doesn't show it, I'll avoid them like the plague. Beyond that, not especially.
14. Are you in a relationship? If so, for how long? Single. :dry: Le sigh.
15. What do you look for in a partner? I like them kind and intelligent, romantic and optimistic. It helps if they're musical - we can make beautiful music together. :sexface:
16. Have you had any sexual experiences with the same gender? Good or bad? When I was quite a bit younger, yes. Good or bad? I think wet is the best description I can give, which says a lot.
17. Have you had any sexual experiences with another gender? Good or bad? Nope
18. Do you go out on the 'scene' (LGB clubs and bars) much? Can you recommend anywhere? No
19. Name some fit famous people. Erm... Vettel, Tennant, Matthew Lewis, Toby Flood... This is surprisingly difficult.
20. Show us your picture? I think not. :biggrin:

1. What's your name? Howard
2. Is there anything in particular you've come to the TSRLGBTS for? Just thought it would be nice :smile:
3. How old are you? 28 next week, so I guess that counts!
4. What's your gender? Male
5. What's your sexual orientation? Gay.
6. How long have you known your orientation? Since 1995/6 sometime
7. Do you feel like you fit any orientation-related stereotypes? Well, I like musicals/theatre and 80's Madonna, haha.
8. Have you experienced any homo- or transphobia? Yep, but nothing more serious than name-calling.
9. Are you out? For how long, or are you planning to? If you are, how did people react? I've been out since I was 16. My mum just said "well I always fancied men too", and that was that. I think I was more upset about saying it than she was to hear it.
10. Do you know many LGBT people? Yeah, I've got several lesbian and gay friends.
11. Have you been involved in any LGBT organisations or societies? What did you think of them? Nope. Having observed the one at my university when I was a student, I was distinctly put off. The primary intention of it was to go clubbing and get off with each other.
12. Have you been to any LGBT events? How were they? I went to Pride in the Park in Hyde Park 2003. The live music was pretty good, but I was rather put off by some very unfriendly and judgemental comments from some of the other people there. I was under the impression that Pride was supposed to be a welcoming/friendly atmosphere, but I didn't find it to be so. Haven't gone to Pride events since, and to be honest, they don't look like my kind of thing.
13. Do LGBT considerations influence you politically? Yes.
14. Are you in a relationship? If so, for how long? No.
15. What do you look for in a partner? Not really looking for a partner. If you go looking for something, you're not very likely to find it.

17. Have you had any sexual experiences with another gender? Good or bad? No.
18. Do you go out on the 'scene' (LGB clubs and bars) much? Can you recommend anywhere? Nope, I dislike the scene. I have friends who will only go out on the scene and I'm not too sure why people feel the need to go off to a room somewhere and all be gay together, when a nice regular pub will do, but each to their own...
19. Name some fit famous people. River Phoenix was beautiful, and Paul Newman was the nicest man who ever lived.
20. Show us your picture? Nope.
1. What's your name? Hannah
2. Is there anything in particular you've come to the TSRLGBTS for? No, just thought I'd have a bit of a nose :smile:
3. How old are you? 20
4. What's your gender? Female
5. What's your sexual orientation? Lesbian
6. How long have you known your orientation? For as long as I can remember.
7. Do you feel like you fit any orientation-related stereotypes? Possibly? I wear flannel shirts and jeans a lot... And I'm a veggie...
8. Have you experienced any homo- or transphobia? Not really, had a hardcore Christian at uni tell me I was going to hell. That's about it.
9. Are you out?For how long, or are you planning to? If you are, how did people react? I've been out to friends since I was 17, came out to my parents when I was 18. Friends were fine, parents absolutely flipped.
10. Do you know many LGBT people? Yup I know quite a few.
11. Have you been involved in any LGBT organisations or societies? What did you think of them? Yep at uni. Its a good place to meet new people.
12. Have you been to any LGBT events? How were they? Only uni run stuff, and they were good :smile:
13. Do LGBT considerations influence you politically? I guess so.
14. Are you in a relationship? If so, for how long? Nope.
15. What do you look for in a partner? Nothing specific really - good sense of humour and having stuff in common.
16. Have you had any sexual experiences with the same gender? Good or bad? I have indeed. Mostly good.
17. Have you had any sexual experiences with another gender? Good or bad? Yup, mostly bad.
18. Do you go out on the 'scene' (LGB clubs and bars) much? Can you recommend anywhere? I do - GBar in Liverpool ftw :smile:
19. Name some fit famous people. Err off the top of my head; Sarah Shahi, Kate Beckinsale, Katy Perry, Sandra Bullock, Cameron Diaz...
20. Show us your picture? :ninja:
(edited 12 years ago)
1. What's your name?

Schmokie Dragon/Azrayel - RL name is for RL, online name is for online :wink:

2. Is there anything in particular you've come to the TSRLGBTS for?

I like filling out questionnaires.

3. How old are you?

23

4. What's your gender?

Female.

5. What's your sexual orientation?

Anthrosexual.

6. How long have you known your orientation?

4 years.

7. Do you feel like you fit any orientation-related stereotypes?

Maybe. I'm in an open relationship (which some might say is 'stereotypical' for anthros) and I'm also into kink. I don't present in any particular style -I don't look femme, I don't look butch, I don't look alt, etc - but I do prefer alt/gothic/cyber/industrial/hippy fashions. I'm also vegan and a bit of a hippy. I have a lot of companion animals. I'm not sure what sort of stereotypes exist for anthros, to be honest. We're not really on the social radar yet.

8. Have you experienced any homo- or transphobia?

Some indirect homo-phobia and bi-phobia, and some direct bi-phobia (both within and outside of LGBT). A lot of people (especially on here) find my sexual orientation very strange, and I've had some very direct and very aggressive 'hate messages' from people telling me I don't exist, I'm ****ed up or I am a pretentious idiot who should go shoot herself and do the world a favour. Wahey!

9. Are you out? For how long, or are you planning to? If you are, how did people react?

I am out to everyone, with a tiny number of exceptions (mostly older family members who would find the whole thing too bizarre for words). Loads of people don't know, but that's just because I don't tend to include my orientation in introductions.

10. Do you know many LGBT people?

Yes. A lot.

11. Have you been involved in any LGBT organisations or societies? What did you think of them?

I was LGBT Officer for YUSU (University of York Students' Union) for a year, and I was also on the executive committee for LGBT Social (YUSU's social society aimed at LGBT people and their friends). I was also LGBT Rep. for my college (Langwith) for two years while at York. I really enjoyed my time and although the ride wasn't always smooth, I think the work we did was very valuable and I would honestly recommend people get involved if they go to York.

12. Have you been to any LGBT events? How were they?

Too many to count. I've been to a ton and I've organised a ton. Everything from film nights and meet-and-greets, to club trips, late-night city trips (such as going to Canal Street) and major campus social events. We also organised loads of more serious events, such as debates, talks and open-meetings.

13. Do LGBT considerations influence you politically?

Yes.

14. Are you in a relationship? If so, for how long?

Yes. I've been with my male partner for over three years.

15. What do you look for in a partner?

Chemistry, compassion and charisma. Trust, affection, intelligence and curiosity. Humour and maturity. Looks are secondary, and gender isn't a factor.

16. Have you had any sexual experiences with the same gender? Good or bad?

Yes. Limited, but enjoyable. Hoping for more!

17. Have you had any sexual experiences with another gender? Good or bad?

My romatic partners have all been male. I've not had sexual contact with anyone outside of the 'traditional' cis-gender binary. Which for some silly reason makes me a little sad. I don't feel like a proper anthro when I've spent most of my adult life having sex with cis-gendered men. Can't control who you fall for, I suppose.

18. Do you go out on the 'scene' (LGB clubs and bars) much? Can you recommend anywhere?

I don't anymore. Too busy working and being boring. I used to go to LGBT nights in York every week, and I've been to LGBT clubs in Leeds and Manchester, as well as some LGBT bars in London. I can heartily recommend Canal Street for a good night out, but it is very 'gay' and some people might prefer something less stereotypical.

19. Name some fit famous people.

Oh jeez. Trent Reznor, Daniel Craig (he's sexy-ugly), Natalie Portman, Angelina Jolie, Juno Temple, Kiera Knightly, John Cameron Mitchell (as Hedwig), Summer Glau, Michelle Rodriguez, Karen Gillan, the tom-boy from Brown Eyed Girls, Patrick Stewart (even if he is getting old), Wilem Dafoe (ditto). I don't keep an eye on celebrity culture so unless they've been in a film or are a musician, chances are I won't have seen them.

1. What's your name?
Jamie.
2. Is there anything in particular you've come to the TSRLGBTS for?
Not really - maybe a little advice here and there.
3. How old are you?
18.
4. What's your gender?
Agendered (trans-masculine).
5. What's your sexual orientation?
Bisexual.
6. How long have you known your orientation?
I've known my orientation since I was 5, and began experiencing gender dysphoria at age 10.
7. Do you feel like you fit any orientation-related stereotypes?
Not in the slightest. But, I can be a bit camp sometimes, if that counts?
8. Have you experienced any homo- or transphobia?
The parental side of my family have said some particularly hurtful things about my being transgendered but I have never been discriminated against for either my orientation or gender.
9. Are you out? For how long, or are you planning to? If you are, how did people react?
I've been out as bisexual since I was 12-13 and I've been progressively coming out as trans since October of last year. There are still some of my friends who don't know.
10. Do you know many LGBT people?
Plenty. I dated a fellow trans man before he or I came out and we're still good friends, and a few of my friends are gay, lesbian or bisexual but I only really do the whole LGBT thing online rather than IRL. Most of my friends are cisgendered and straight.
11. Have you been involved in any LGBT organisations or societies? What did you think of them?
I'm planning to join the LGBT soc at Bradford, and that'll be my first foray into that.
12. Have you been to any LGBT events? How were they?
I went to a QYN meet once in London but I don't plan to again.
13. Do LGBT considerations influence you politically?
To an extent. LGBT rights, emphasis on the T, effect me personally, so I suppose they do.
14. Are you in a relationship? If so, for how long?
I'm not in a relationship but I'm interested in another trans man at the moment and don't intend to be in a relationship until I know that has no chance of happening.
15. What do you look for in a partner?
Someone tolerant of my body dysphoria and someone who is tolerant of my tendency to be an ass. A nice face, a good sense of humour, and a great taste in music is all favourable.
16. Have you had any sexual experiences with the same gender? Good or bad?
Plenty of sexual experience with men, some of it good, some of it bad. Never as enjoyable as I wanted it to be due to my supressed gender dysphoria.
17. Have you had any sexual experiences with another gender? Good or bad?
One sexual experience with a woman when I was 14, and my only one as of yet and likely ever.
18. Do you go out on the 'scene' (LGB clubs and bars) much? Can you recommend anywhere?
Never been to a club or bar, let alone an LGB-inclusive one.
19. Name some fit famous people.
Joel Zimmerman, Jon Gooch, Sonny Moore, Richard Madden, Christina Hendricks, Olivia Wilde, Ellen Paige, Emilia Clarke.

I'd rather not.
